If you want to get out and about and enjoy our beautiful Great River Ouse in St Ives and the surrounding area then there are a few local river faring companies that will help you to get and explore.

ELECTRIC RIVERBOAT CRUISES

Based on the Quay of the Old Riverport from April to October, chauffeured boats run hourly from 11 am to 5 pm every day (weather permitting).

Your journey will take you along the river, past lush meadows to the village of Hemingford. Spot a wealth of wildlife along the way, with detailed commentary as you go, what better way to spend an hour peacefully gliding along.
You can even charter your own boat for a bit of adventure.

In the Spring the company run bird-watching cruises and in August join them for bat, owl and astronomy evenings.

LAZY DAYS BOAT HIRE
